Transcript of Zeus

ZEUSZeus is the King of the Gods and Lord of the Sky. His father, Cronus, meant to swallow him when he was born because he believed he would overtake him in the throne. He had done the same with all his children before. Zeus's mother, Rhea, tricked Cronus into swallowing a stone instead and hid Zeus on the island of Crete where he was raised by a goat. When Zeus was old enough, he left the island and forced Cronus to vomit up the stone along with the other children he swallowed. They engaged in war and as predicted, Zeus took the throne. His father was imprisoned. Yearbook EntryZeus: He is the most popular God because he is the leader and is known by all. He is their superior, so the others respect him. He is the mightiest as well.
